About Presidential Public Procurement Authority
The national authority responsible for regulating, monitoring and publishing public procurement.
Independent oversight of how public funds are spent
Presidential Public Procurement Authority was established to regulate public procurement, set standards for fairness and transparency, and operate the central platform through which every government tender is published. We work with ministries, agencies and local authorities to ensure procurement is open to qualified suppliers and free from undue influence.
Since launch, the platform has carried over 300 published opportunities a year across construction, supplies, ICT, consultancy and logistics categories, with a growing base of registered small and medium enterprises.
Our role spans three connected functions. As a regulator, we set and enforce the minimum standards every procuring entity must follow, from how a tender notice is drafted to how a complaint is investigated. As a platform operator, we run the digital infrastructure — this website and the systems behind it — that publishes opportunities, manages supplier records and retains the audit trail for every award. As a capacity-builder, we train procurement officers inside government agencies and run outreach sessions for small and medium suppliers who are new to public-sector bidding, so that the rules are not just published but genuinely understood by the people who rely on them.
To ensure public procurement is conducted transparently, competitively and accountably, delivering value for every public dollar spent.
A public procurement system that is trusted by citizens, accessible to every qualified business, and free of corruption.
Presidential Public Procurement Authority operates under the (fictional, for demonstration purposes) Public Procurement Act 2024 and its accompanying Regulations, which give the authority power to issue binding procurement guidelines, investigate complaints, and suspend suppliers found to be in breach of the Code of Conduct.
From paper notices to a single digital registry
What guides our work
These four values are not aspirational language alone — each is tied to a measurable obligation. Transparency is enforced through mandatory publication timelines; fairness through standard evaluation templates that every agency must use; integrity through a public conflict-of-interest register; and value through post-award benchmarking against comparable contracts.
Who runs Presidential Public Procurement Authority
Reporting lines
The Board of Directors is appointed for staggered three-year terms and includes representatives from the Ministry of Finance, the private sector and civil society, so that no single interest group controls oversight of the procurement system.
Where we're headed
- Bring 100% of central government tenders onto the platform by 2027.
- Reduce average notice-to-award time by 30%.
- Grow registered SME suppliers to 10,000.
- Publish a public open-contracting dataset, updated daily.
A code of conduct for everyone on the platform
Every procurement officer who publishes a notice through Presidential Public Procurement Authority, and every supplier who registers to bid, agrees to the same Code of Conduct. It prohibits gifts or favours linked to a live tender, requires disclosure of any personal or business relationship with a bidder, and obliges officers to record the reasons behind every evaluation decision.
Breaches are investigated by the Compliance & Standards division and can result in a supplier being suspended from bidding, or an agency's publishing rights being reviewed by the Board.
Built with the people who use it
Presidential Public Procurement Authority runs quarterly consultations with the Chamber of Commerce and SME associations to review how well the platform is serving smaller suppliers, and an annual Procurement Forum that brings agency officers and bidders into the same room for open Q&A. Feedback from both has directly shaped features such as the closing-soon alerts and the simplified supplier registration form.
